I'm running 5.13 gears with 35's with a automatic. And wish I had 37's now. If that tells you anything.

I'm running 37's in a 6 speed with stock gears. Plenty of get up and go around town, and plenty of torque off road I'm almost always in 2nd gear off road unless I really need to crawl up something steep.

! went from 3.21 to 4.88 and I didn't like them with my 35's but was good with my 37's so I sold the 35's to get 38's for next summer.

But that my opinion

Running 37s, 5.38s with an auto - - No regrets....MPG still in the mid to high teens. Mainly cause I can't drive 65. . . I prefer 70 to 75 MPH. . .If you have any questions, feel free to PM me..

Thanks!
